I have a friend who has posted on FB with her tree and other decs up. She puts up tree etc about this time of year. Yet hear her moaning about how dusting the lounge takes longer due to tree etc.

Then have a colleague who probably puts up her tree about 10 later and her DH moans he he is sick of the sight of the tree a week before Christmas.

Both put tree away on Boxing Day! Noticed this a lot with the Xmas tree twirlies.

If you get fed up of the extra dusting, sight of it before Xmas, don’t put up your Decs up early then!

I don’t put my tree up until 2nd week of December

Anyway, mines going up next week, Merry Christmas! 🎄

My neighbour put hers up on 31st October along with a blue light. At night you think there is an ambulance or police car opposite.
She moaned that kids went trick or treating as she had the front of the house lit up like Oxfor Street

What are Christmas tree twirlies? Wouldn't bother me the extra dusting......or the moaning 🎉
